And yet, historians have largely overlooked whiteness in their studies of Australia's racial past. \u003ci\u003eCreating White Australia\u003c\/i\u003e takes a fresh approach to the question of 'race' in Australian history. It demonstrates that Australia's racial foundations can only be understood by recognising whiteness too as 'race'. Including contributions from some of the leading as well as emerging scholars in Australian history, it breaks new ground by arguing that 'whiteness' was central to the racial ideologies that created the Australian nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book pursues the foundations of white Australia across diverse locales. It also situates the development of Australian whiteness within broader imperial and global influences. As the recent apology to the Stolen Generations, the Northern Territory Intervention and controversies over asylum seekers reveal, the legacies of these histories are still very much with us today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47925016756382,"sku":"ING-9781920899424","price":31.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781920899424.jpg?v=1782957518","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781920899424","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
